In the book, In Harm's Way, by Doug Stanton the setting starts off in Litchfield, Connecticut, on Winvian Farm. The farm is described as being “in rich horse country”.

Over thousands of blacks were discriminated in the 1950s because of their skin color. Blacks and whites were prohibited to go to the same school just because of their skin color. However, in the year of 1957 the Little Rock Nine were the first nine black students that integrated to Central High. If this group of people didn’t have the courage to attend Central High our schools would be extremely different today.

The Sons of Liberty started to group together around in about 1772. The Sons of Liberty were a large group of colonists that rebelled against the Stamp Act. They were everyday, ordinary men, depending on what source you are looking at, they could be rebels, colonists helping to smuggle goods so they can try to avoid taxes, or merchants and artisans, or they could just be a group of people standing up for what they believe. . The thing is, the Sons of Liberty were all of these… they did all of this. No matter what, their main goal was to not pay any taxes, rebel against the taxes , or more likely to intimidate the tax collectors. They tried to rebel against the taxes, because almost everyone did not approve of the taxes, and to do this,

Profiles in Courage starts with beginning of the formation of the United States of America. The book features several men who showed courage throughout senate history. They include, John Quincy Adams, Daniel Webster, Thomas Hart Benton, Sam Houston, Edmund G. Ross, Lucius Quintus Cininnatus Lamar, George Norris, and Robert A. Taft. Each senator stood for what they thought was right instead of conforming to public opinion or what their party thought. They had minds of their own and went against the wave. They fought for what they believed in even if it was unpopular and could cost their jobs. The author’s purpose is to show what courage is through the use of mood, dialog, and logos.

Through the violent acts that were sparked and initiated by the Sons of Liberty, they were indeed terrorists to the British. For example, the atrocious action of dumping the tea at Boston Harbor is considered “treasonous and punishable by death” due to deliberately disrupting the trade and economy of the British through revolt and violence. In addition, the Stamp Act caused the Sons of Liberty to aggressively revolt against the British nobility, and they continue to “confiscate, burn, and unpack” property, and furthermore, threatening the Royal Governor of New York Cadwallader Colden with violence and even death. Lastly, to emphasize political upheaval and propaganda, the Sons of Liberty promote their terrorism to coerce various individuals

The origin of the famous political organization has finally been explained. The Sons of Liberty led by Samuel Adams was formed in July of 1765. The members of the organization opposed the Stamp Act Tax placed on them by Britain. The Sons of Liberty protested the Stamp Act by harassing the stamp tax distributors who worked for the British. Their plan worked as the tax distributors quit their jobs and the British repealed the tax. The most famous act committed by this group was the Boston Tea Party in which the members dressed up as Indians and threw tea in the Boston Harbor. The Boston Tea party was a major event leading up to the Revolutionary

In the novel To KIll a Mockingbird by Harper Lee there are lots of characters. But there is one that stands out the most, Tom Robinson. Tom shows lots of courage from the time he is introduced and to the time he dies. He enters the Ewell’s house, he enters trial with great courage, and he tries to breakout of prison. These are reasons why he is so courageous.

John Adams said “Property must be secured or liberty cannot exist.” I think that the sons of liberty were Fanatics who would do anything to get what they wanted. The Sons of Liberty refused to pay taxes, hired thugs, were very secretive, burned down houses and would tar feather people.

What makes this film historically significant is that these heroes inspired people back home to support the war efforts and they inspired monuments in their honor.

“... I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It’s when you know you’re licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see through it not matter what” (Lee, 11). This book is a story about two siblings that experienced many things throughout the whole book, most of them hard and new to them, but at the end, they assimilated to face these things. Their father, Atticus, was a lawyer who did everything at his hands to always do the right thing, and as a result of that, Jem and Scout met several circumstances that other kids weren’t exposed to and they learned to forgive and and appreciate others the way they are. Compassion and forgiveness are perceptible in this book and appreciable things like Camellias, and Red Geraniums can represent such strong emotions.

Society consistently provides roadblocks for everyone even those with some type of disability.
